Through detailed readings of popular science fiction, including the
novels of Frank Herbert and Octavia E. Butler and television's
Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who, this is the first sustained
examination of legality in science fiction. Kieran Tranter includes
substantive worked examples of the law and legal concepts projected
by these science fiction texts, such as Australian car culture,
legal responses to cloning and the relationship between legal
theory and science fiction. By examining science fiction as the
culture of our total technological world, it journeys with the
partially-consumed human into the belly of the machine. What it
finds is unexpected. Rather than a cold uniformity of exchangeable
productive units, there is warmth, diversity and 'life' for the
nodes in the networks. Through its science fiction focus it argues
that this life generates a very different law of responsibility
that can guide living well in technical legality.
